It doesn't look that way to me We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoa Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough Afraid, we cower To interests not our own The power to free or to control We let it skip through Our fingers to the bone Watch as the bodies wash ashore Whoa Nobody lives here anymore We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoa Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall? And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? And how long will we fall for this? How long, how? We storm the gates Raise the flags Just the same old story We seize the throne, subjugate We should have burned it to the ground Whoa Some might say we've lost our way But I believe we've not gone far enough
